 1967 was the only year that this option featured "rolling" door
locks. In fact, this unique option was only available in 1967. All doors
locked automatically at 8 m.p.h., and would not unlock until car slowed
to less than 8 m.p.h. Rolling door locks were included with the Safety-Convenience
Control Panel, (shown left), and also featured a switch on the console
(shown below) to lock or unlock all doors manually.The rolling door lock feature was discontinued for cars built after approximately January 6, 1967, due to ongoing issues. A service procedure was released to dealers instructing them on disconnecting the rolling door lock feature, allowing the system to be controlled manually by the control on the console. It was noted that engines should be turned off when running the car through a rolling automatic wash rack, if it allowed the wheels on the car to turn as it progressed through the machine. One can only imagine how angry new Thunderbird owners must have been to realize the doors had locked automatically during the washing process, and they were now locked out of their car! |

Lights out before take off! Are your belts fastened? Doors closed? Fuel OK? Thunderbird's Safety-Convenience
Control Panel (shown above, mounted above the windshield between the sun
visors), lets you know when you're cleared for take off. And if you forget
to check it, it also has an Emergency Flasher System to alert others when
you're stopped by the side of the road (because you ran out of gas!)

 First introduced in 1966, the Highway Pilot Speed Control allows the driver
to set desired cruising speed, retard to a slower speed, or resume to original
set speed at the touch of a switch conveniently located within the padded
spokes of the Tilt-Away steering wheel. A touch of the brake pedal, or
a flick of the console mounted on/off switch to the off positon instantly
re-establishes manual control. The wood grained steering wheel was provided
as part of the Highway Pilot option, regardless of trim level. Normally
only cars with the optional SL Interior got the dressed up steering wheel
without this option. |
 Stay comfortable all year long, regardless of the weather outside with SelectAire. Simple controls combine the MagicAire Heater and SelectAire Conditioner for cooling and dehumidifying in Summer, heating and defrosting in Winter months. |
 Ford's Integral AM Radio with StereoSonic Tape System, a very popular new option introduced in 1966, returns for 1967. Pre-recorded 8-track tapes play over 70 minutes of music through four high fidelity speakers. Diana Ross and The Supremes never had it so good! Neither did The Monkees, The Cowsills, or Frank Sinatra, for that matter. |

Simulated Mag Wheel Covers with Chrome Lug Nuts (at right) were a new option
for 1967. A Thunderbird emblem at center was set against a turquoise background.
One of the flashiest wheel covers ever put on a T-Bird. Of course there's
really nothing like driving a Thunderbird when you want to be discreet!
(Although private investigator Peter Gunn in the 1967 movie "Gunn"
did drive a new Thunderbird...)
A Deluxe Wheel Cover with simulated knock-off spinners and a dark blue background was also optionally available. |

*Note: Did You Know? When the FM Multiplex Stereo Radio was ordered, a separate unit was mounted in the center console glove compartment that separated the FM stereo channels. Two knobs controlled front to rear and side to side speaker balance, and extended through the glove compartment cover, which featured a chrome bezel mounted to its face with "Stereo" engraved on it in script. A jewel light appeared above the knobs, and glowed when a stereo broadcast was being received. This was a one year only option. |

1967 Thunderbird Mid-Bodyside Moldings After offering factory moldings (called "Sports Side Trim") to protect the body sides in 1962, and 1964-1966, Ford offered nothing for the 1967-68 Thunderbirds, which led to an after market version, shown here at left and detailed at right. A factory molding was again made available mid-year for 1969 Thunderbirds. |
